Energy supply (energy flow) is the delivery of fuels or transformed fuels to point of consumption and the term potentially encompasses the extraction, transmission, generation distribution, and storage of fuels. This supply of energy can be disrupted by several factors, including imposition of higher energy prices due to action by OPEC (in the case of crude oil) or other cartel, war, political disputes, economic disputes, or physical damage to the energy infrastructure due to terrorism. The security of energy supply is a major concern of national security and energy independence.
